This is known as the "I'll kill you, Jack, I told you I don't want my picture taken" look.
It is the variation used by a very nice person who won't really kill me,
however much she thinks I deserve it.
I hired Betsy when she was one year out of college. After a half dozen years,
Betsy and her husband moved out of Hartford so he could take a job in metropolitan New York.
Last year, his company relocated its headquarters to Southwest Florida,
so they now live nearby again. It was great to see you, Betsy.
You should have the decency to age, like the rest of us.

Betsy has beautiful smile and it's contagious.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of a beautiful young friend. How nice that you two were able to reconnect!
ReplyDeleteShe has a great smile Jack.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to reconnect with old friends and wouldn't it be great if we all could age so beautifully!!! A lovely smile indeed! Great post to start my day, Jack, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic smile and what fun to be able to catch up!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Great smile.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are still alive if you posted this amazing portrait!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she has a portrait hidden away that is aging, Jack! ;-)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful smile never ages!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that lovely smile is indicative of a very lovely person. Beautiful portrait!
ReplyDeleteSmiling through gritted teeth...but her expression says she forgives you too. She looks lovely and I'm sure you hired her for her brain.
ReplyDeleteThat certainly doesn't look like an "I'll kill you" look.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful portrait, even if she wants to kill you!
ReplyDeleteLooks more like a happy smile to me.
ReplyDeleteShe is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a way with the ladies Jack :) Betsy is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and natural portrait Jack. I can see from your recent work that you are getting more and more comfortable with street shots. I love them and I can see that you do too.
